The suit was filed to deter mine the requirements of law for appraisal values and whether the appraisal office met those requirements, he said. “(The suit) is simply asking the court to review that category of property to see if the property conforms to the requirements of law, and that is that (the proper ty be appraised) at 100 percent of market value,” Robeck said. The case has been filed but has not been put on the court docket, he said. There is a two- year backlog, Robeck said, but tax cases receive some priority. The case probably will be heard in three to four months. The actual hearing will take one day, but after the hearing, the judge’s decision must be im plemented. The school district will see no results for several months, Robeck said. The judge’s decision will in clude whether the appraisals are correct and also whether the property owners involved will be required to pay back taxes after reappraisals. “At a minimum, our objective is to order the appraisal district to appraise that property as the law requires at 100 percent,” Robeck said. “I think there’s a good case that what the law appears to require was not met.” Larry May, a field appraiser for the central appraisal office, said the values for the business/ personal category are correct. Some property valuations re mained the same or decreased because of the depreciation of personal property. May said. While land and buildings in crease in value every year, he said, personal property — desks, copy machines and inventory — depreciate each year. If a business did not buy any new equipment, the deprecia tion on the old equipment could bring the total property value down. Karen Johle, office manager for the appraisal office, said a committee is searching for a new chief appraiser to replace John ny Neece, who resigned in Sep tember because of friction with the College Station School Board. She said the committee is considering five applications. * * * * * * * ‘TRICE BOOKS magazinIs 3828 Texas Ave. Mon.-Sat. 10 a.m.-9 p.m. Sunday noon-9 p.m. We buy Anything Printed or Recorded ^ * * * * * * * * Horsemen hold clinic for kids by Brian Boyer Battalion Reporter Forty-five handicapped and . .. .

The riders will be supervised by three volunteers to insure the safety of the riders and their mounts, Koenig said. Three ses sions, with 15 riders each, will be held the next two Saturdays, be ginning at 8:30 a.m. The ses sions will be at the horse center on Jersey street. Participants are chosen from special education classes in both the Bryan and College Station school districts. Koenig said the students’ ages range from 6 to 20, although most are under 12. The 45 riders were selected from 60 applicants. Last year, only 30 riders participated, Koenig said. “It grows every year,” she said. This is the fifth year the clinic has been held. There is no cost to riders who attend the clinic. The horses and facilities are provided by Texas A&M University, she said.
